Abstract:

Since 1947, the Alexander County First Sunday Singing Convention, featuring three choirs and a guest choir, has met the first Sunday each month to sing together. At one time eleven choirs would perform. The singing promoted unity, fellowship, and better singing in the home churches. The convention received the 1998 N.C. Folklore Society Community Traditions Award.
